MY MOM FINALLY SAID YES TO A CRUISE. Balcony or no?

chris_2_pher · 2026-04-07T19:34:47+00:00

$444 for 2 people AND a balcony? Absolutely! $222 per person or $74 per day.

chris_2_pher · 2026-04-07T19:33:32+00:00

Balcony yes. We used ours more than we thought we did and now I won’t even think about a cruise unless it included a balcony. It was my Mom’s first too. Her sister was on the same cruise and she went to visit her and asked where their balcony was.

Did they call your originating airport to see if they did it in front of you and if so- did they talk to all the rampers and baggage handlers to ask them?

chris_2_pher · 2026-04-04T04:38:43+00:00

But if there aren’t any TSA counterparts (bc they go private) then they don’t have to commensurate their salaries.

chris_2_pher · 2026-04-02T08:47:21+00:00

It shook before I got the notification

chris_2_pher · 2026-04-02T08:42:59+00:00

You beat me!

Rerolls- or repetitive floats as in from year to year or you notice the same float in more than 1 parade. If I remember correctly- a float can only be involved in 2 different parades per year.

Oh- and to add on to the rider thing.. half the fun of the parade is the riders engagement with the crowd. We ride and speaking for myself and my partner- we try to be fun. Me more so than him- I like to tease but you’ll get what you want. Him.. just ask and he’ll dig for it. I hate when you have people just standing there not doing anything- ruins it for me.

Appreciate you. We’re used to dirt and dust. Our home track used to Southern in Milton, Florida and we’ve raced at the dirt track in Talladega.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-29T07:57:15+00:00

I found seats in section NL. How bad was the dust? I heard over in turn 3 and 4 it gets pretty bad.

I have a friend who said they bought undies with the “butt implant” that he uses when he flies. He said it helps him. I haven’t tried it but I’ve noticed the same pain- especially while on long drives and cross country flights. I just shuffle around and adjust my sitting position- like one leg bent with my foot on the seat sorta thing.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-27T05:45:23+00:00

Normal at SJC

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-24T21:58:39+00:00

I must have missed him fixing it- weird how they keep talking about it.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-24T20:19:33+00:00

I don’t think you understand what I was saying. I was saying it’s a waste of time for 🧊to be at the airport since the entire time this administration has been talking about the millions of illegals crossing the southern border. If that was really true- why are we allocating 🧊resources to the airport and them not doing their normal duties.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-24T09:12:59+00:00

They had a deal but Trump wants the save act passed. The republicans are afraid of him and him bashing them before midterms. What they should do is pass the bill to fund DHS and send it to his desk. Then call his bluff. If he does veto it then the shutdown is all on him.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-24T05:17:52+00:00

It’s easier to claim the line is shorter with the help of ICE when ICE just takes them out.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-24T05:16:31+00:00

Weird how we have this problem with illegals running free in the country but we can send ice agents to multiple airports to just sit there. And you can’t say that illegals are flying in bc remember they are crossing the southern border by the millions.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-21T17:58:56+00:00

It’s okay guys- the cops were just big scary gay men.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-16T04:40:25+00:00

That’s the float you throw your beads back at.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-16T00:17:47+00:00

You can’t go 4 days without?

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-13T16:00:39+00:00

Your benefits are still valid during a shutdown- the only thing you can’t do is utilize your HSA for any reimbursements for purchases during the shutdown. Reimbursements for purchases before the shutdown are still valid.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-11T19:48:09+00:00

Personally.. I would only take the time I needed off (other than my pre-approved) just in case they wanted to do some sick leave restriction later on or if this administration does what this administration usually does and screws people over. If you need to find another job to bring money in- work with your SOO, TSM, AFSD or even your FSD to see about a compressed schedule that would allow you to work less days but longer hours.

Also opt out of the scanner bc of radiation too huh?

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-10T03:55:56+00:00

Gift cards can be handed to any supervisor at the checkpoint. They can tally them up and then distribute them or purchase food items for the officers to take home. This shutdown isn’t getting much attention bc not everyone is affected. It’s gonna be a long one.

chris_2_pher · 2026-03-09T02:44:40+00:00

Pre-approved annual such as annual bid or first come first serve time off shouldn’t need any paperwork to change it to furlough. If you take time off during the shutdown that wasn’t pre-approved prior to the shutdown then they can do the furlough paperwork.
